  • Some stuff!

    Here are three things.  I don't really know what to call the things, but they are sort of prettyish.  So yep!  Tell me what you think.

    1) The Final Pardon's spiffy rose logo.  It was pretty easy to make, and it looks sort of neat and grungyemotastic.  It adorns our MySpace and our hearts.  Or something.  The font I used is my favorite font at the moment, plus a warp effect and probably some other stuff.  I don't really remember what all I used, but it was really simple, and it makes me happy.





    2) The Way That It Does
    I really like this one.  It's really simple, but it's cute, and it captures something that I can't quite name, but I love it.  However, I think it's a bit off center, and that sort of bugs me.  I just eyeballed it, so I guess I had that one coming.  The big version is on my PhotoBucket, I believe, and you can see the cute font better on that one.  I love cute fonts.  Graphic Design revolves around cute fonts.

    3) Dallas
    This is about MtlFest and how much I miss it. *laugh*  I sort of gave up on making it look any better, because it was taking forever and I wasn't getting very far.  There are still some things I like about it though.



    So, that's what I have at the moment.  Let me know what you think and what you would improve on and anything else you have to say.  Thanks!

    Because I can...

    Xanga.  I don't like it.  I am a blogger fan.  It's easier to use, less confusing, and while it tends to be less pretty, it keeps me happy by at least letting me customize the colors on my page.  Xanga makes me slightly angsty.  However, the rest of the world doesn't like Blogger, so I got a Xanga so I could read all of their Xangas.  And wouldn't you know it, control+i won't italicize.  This is not going to go down well.

    I'll probably use this very rarely.  That's why I put the first awesome looking templatey thing on it that I laid my eyes on.  If you know me well, you probably know that I like things to look nice, and that I'm sort of a control freak sometimes about making that happen.  This looks nice.  I didn't make it.  Someone else did.  But they did a good job, I guess, and I think it's sort of cool, so I'm going to roll with it for the time being.  After all, I don't even like Xanga. *wink*

    Maybe I'll use this to post my photo edits and my renders and stuff like that.  Graphic-designy things.  I like doing stuff like that.  Or who knows.  Maybe eventually I'll break down and convert.  My blogger is on the verge of 200 posts, and I can't sit still for too long.  Maybe I'll use this long enough that it'll grow on me, and I'll start using it on a more regular basis.  It can happen.  It wouldn't be the first time.

    I don't know how this thing works. *laugh*
